SUBJECT:Proposed Adoption of Title 4—ApprenticeshipNC, Chapter A. General Provisions

 

The State Board of Community Colleges has initiated the rulemaking process to adopt a new title into the State Board Code, Title 4—ApprenticeshipNC. Within this Title, there are two chapters: Chapter A. General Provisions and Chapter B. Equal Employment Opportunity in Apprenticeship. The main purpose of Chapter A. is to incorporate into the State Board Code the federal rules that govern registered apprenticeships. Chapter A. also contains additional rules related to the administration of the ApprenticeshipNC program, including definitions, the registration of apprenticeship programs and individual apprentices, and qualifications of apprentices (see rules 4A SBCCC 100.2 through 100.12). These rules do not change how the current ApprenticeshipNC program operates.

The proposed rules are published on the NC Community College System’s website, www.nccommunitycolleges.edu/sbcccode. For your convenience, a copy of the proposed rules are attached to this memorandum. Strikethroughs indicate deletions of language and underlines indicate additions of language.

Any member of the public has the right to submit written comments on the proposed rules. Please note that any person who submits comments on behalf of their community colleges should comply with the college’s local process for submitting comments on a proposed rule. Written comments on the rules must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 20, 2021.

Any member of the public has the right to request a hearing on the proposed rules. Requests for a hearing must be received by no later than 5:00 p.m. on May 5, 2021. Written comments and requests for hearing shall be directed to the following address: Tawanda Foster Artis, 5001 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-5001 or by email to publiccomments@nccommunitycolleges.edu.
